PDP says he does not meet post’s residency requirement
By THE STAR STAFF
Jenniffer González Colón has appointed Brig. Gen. Arthur J. Garffer, the island’s public safety secretary, as Puerto Rico’s new secretary of state.
Soon after the governor’s announcement, lawmakers from the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) claimed that Garffer is not qualified for the position.
The appointment came after the Legislature rejected Verónica Ferraiuoli Hornedo for the role. Ferraiuoli will now be the person in charge of heading efforts to achieve government efficiency.
Sen. Luis Javier Hernández Ortiz, the spokesperson for the PDP minority delegation in the upper chamber, stated that Garffer does not meet the qualifications required by the island Constitution, which specifies that a candidate must have lived in Puerto Rico for the five years preceding the appointment.
“The reality is that the appointed Secretary of State has only been living in Puerto Rico for a few months,” Hernández said. “Public records indicate that he served as the Director of Operations for the West Virginia National Guard from March 2023 to May 2024 (one year and three months). Following that, from May 2024 to April 2025, he was Chief of Staff at a base in Kosovo.”
Hernández also noted that during the confirmation process for the public safety post, Garffer acknowledged that he was slow to submit required documents because his income tax returns were filed outside of Puerto Rico.
“At this point, it’s unclear whether Garffer will continue as the Secretary of the Department of Public Safety (DSP), as he does meet the requirements for that position,” the PDP minority leader said. “However, whoever holds the position of Secretary of State must fully comply with the Constitution.”
Regarding the fact that Garffer has only been residing in Puerto Rico for five months, Hernández remarked that “[s]omeone in La Fortaleza should have verified the clear constitutional requirement that the candidate must meet.”
“We recall the case of Pedro Pierluisi, who was not approved by the Senate, and the Supreme Court was firm in its determination that the Constitution must always be followed,” he said. “This appointment raises questions about the Governor’s commitment to adhering to these standards, especially since she has created a talent pool and claimed to have received over 7,000 resumes. Once again, we see evidence of
the Governor’s double standards.”
Garffer has 30 years of military service, including both active duty and in the National Guard in various states. He has commanded special forces at multiple levels and has supported diverse operations including contingency missions in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
His most recent military assignment was as chief of staff for NATO forces in Kosovo. He also served as the director of joint operations (J3) for the West Virginia National Guard and commanded the Special Operations Detachment-Europe, where he collaborated with Ukrainian special forces in preparation for the Russian invasion.
Throughout his career, Garffer has worked with numerous national and international intelligence and security agencies. Government-wise, he served as the assistant secretary for operations and intelligence at the DSP from January 2021 to March 2024 and was recognized as a White House Hispanic Leader under President Trump. He has also acted as an adviser on political campaigns.
Garffer holds a bachelor of military arts degree from The Citadel Military College of South Carolina, a bachelor’s degree in political science from InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico, and an MBA in finance from the same institution. Additionally, he earned a master’s degree in international relations and national security policy from Troy University, a master’s degree in law with a focus on international finance and banking law from the University of Liverpool, and a master’s degree in strategic studies from the United States Army War College.

Gov. Jenniffer González Colón has officially withdrawn the nomination of Janet Parra Mercado for the position of secretary of justice.
“Unfortunately, I learned about the Senate president’s [Thomas Rivera Schatz] comments regarding Ms. Parra’s confirmation through his social media accounts,” the governor said. “I would have preferred to communicate directly and without intermediaries about his position, but everyone has their own style.
In light of this, the nominee has asked me to withdraw her nomination. Puerto Rico has lost an exceptional resource, and I extend my gratitude to Ms. Parra for her willingness to accept this challenge and for facing unwar-
ranted attacks and an unjust confirmation process.”
González Colón added that “[a]s governor and president of the New Progressive Party, I am fully aware that the public expects impeccable responsibility and discipline from me.”
“I will always prioritize the unity of my party and the agenda I promised to the people,” she said. “Nothing and no one will distract me from that mission.”
After expressing regret over not having the necessary votes in the Senate for her confirmation, a tearful Parra told Teleonce in an interview that she had been “judged lightly” regarding the actions of her former chief security guard, who had questioned in the Legislature those opposing her appointment. She emphasized that she was not given
a fair opportunity to defend herself.
The controversies surrounding Parra stem from her attempt to represent two individuals associated with the criminal organization led by Delwin Berríos Navarro, also known as Tun Tun, in mid-2022 -- only weeks after she resigned from her position as a prosecutor.
Additionally, during the Senate investigations, a member of the designated secretary’s security detail, identified as Agent Abiel Soto Méndez, approached the Capitol superintendent. He sought to determine who had informed Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz about Parra’s possible conflict of interest. As a result, the security guard was removed from his position and is currently under investigation by the Department of Public Safety and the Police Bureau.

Atotal of 53 individuals, including seven women, were detained early Thursday morning by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an operation in the Condado district of San Juan.
Rebecca González, director of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Puerto Rico, reported that those arrested are Dominican nationals who were employed by a subcontracted construction company working on a project at the La Concha Hotel.
“None of those detained had identification documents, and some have admitted they do not have a defined im-
migration status,” González told the media.
The 53 individuals were taken to the ICE-HSI facility in San Juan to have their immigration status verified in the federal database. González said that if any violations of federal criminal laws are discovered, the cases will be referred to the Attorney General’s Office.
The operation was part of the compliance inspections ICE conducts at businesses to identify unauthorized employees. So far this year, 238 businesses have been raided.
González clarified that those arrested were not employees of the hotel itself, but rather workers from an unnamed subcontracted company. She also confirmed that La Concha has cooperated with the investigation.
Protesters rally in front of UPR administrative offices for safety, freedom of expression
By THE STAR STAFF
Members of the university community, supported by student groups, civil society organizations, and representatives of the Dignity Project (Proyecto Dignidad) party, demonstrated Thursday at the University Plaza on the Río Piedras campus of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) to demand affirmative action that guarantees safety, freedom of expression, and adequate spaces for the debate of ideas.
The demonstration arose after an incident on Wednesday, when a group of students attempted to interrupt a pro-life panel discussion taking place on campus. According to organizers, the protesters used megaphones and acted violently, even assaulting a guest panelist. The event was completed thanks to the intervention of university security, but under a tense atmosphere.
“We reiterate our demand for a UPR for all, where respect
and safety are not empty promises,” said Cristian García Rodríguez, one of the organizers. “The violence against the pro-life discussion and the inaction on inclusive restrooms demonstrate that authorities must act now.”
The protesters pointed out that the continued existence of inclusive restrooms poses a risk to students, especially women, and denounced what they describe as censorship of certain ideological sectors at the university. They demanded the immediate elimination of the inclusive restrooms and their replacement with separate facilities for men and women, based on “biological reality.”
In addition, they demanded that the UPR interim president, Dr. Miguel A. Muñoz, who during public hearings expressed support for legislative measures to eliminate inclusive restrooms, implement administrative actions without waiting for legislation.
The demands also include the investigation of complaints related to a lack of security in restrooms, the creation of
policies that guarantee free expression for all sectors, and an institutional commitment to critical thinking and diversity of ideas.

Afederal judge expressed skepticism Wednesday night about the Trump administration’s reasons to avoid seeking the return of scores of Venezuelan immigrants who had been expelled to El Salvador in March, saying he was inclined to order officials to provide more information on the arrangement between the U.S. and Salvadoran governments.
The questions raised by the judge, James E. Boasberg, came at a hearing in Federal District Court in Washington, where lawyers for the deported men claimed that because the administration had sent them to a prison in El Salvador under an apparent agreement with the Salvadoran government, it should be responsible for facilitating their return to U.S. soil.
Over the past several weeks, lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union have secured orders from judges in several courts across the country stopping the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th-century wartime law, to summarily deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members to a terrorism prison in El Salvador.
But at least so far, the lawyers have not been able to protect about 140 Venezuelan migrants who are already in Salvadoran custody after the United States sent them on charter flights under the act March 15.
The hearing in Washington on Wednesday night was held in part to debate two crucial issues: what role the Trump administration played in having the men detained in the Salvadoran prison in the first place, and whether officials could be held accountable for bringing them back to the United States.
In seeking to answer the first of those questions, Boasberg pressed a Justice Department lawyer about a recent statement by President Donald Trump concerning Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man who was wrongfully expelled to El Salvador in the same set of flights as the Venezuelan migrants.
During an interview with ABC News this month, Trump said that he could tell the Salvadoran government to send Abrego Garcia back to the United States if he wanted, but that he simply did not care to do so.
“Was the president telling the truth when he said he could pick up the phone and he could get Abrego Garcia released or not?” Boasberg asked the Justice Department lawyer, Abhishek Kambli.
After a pause, Kambli told Boasberg
judge earlier this week pressed a lawyer for the Justice Department on the government’s role and responsibilities in the men’s deportation and incarceration in El Salvador. (Haiyun Jiang/The New York Times)
that the president sometimes believes he has more authority than he actually does and that the final decision about whether to release the Venezuelan men rested solely with the Salvadoran government.
The plight of the 137 Venezuelans being held in the terrorism prison in El Salvador known as CECOT is significant for several reasons.
Lawyers for the ACLU have claimed that the men were sent there in the middle of night without due process. They have also argued that Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to remove them from the country was unlawful and improperly stretched the meaning of the law — a view that a ruling from a Trump-appointed federal judge in Brownsville, Texas, supported last week.
The Justice Department, acting on behalf of the White House, has argued that once the Venezuelan men were sent to El Salvador, they were beyond the reach of the U.S. court system. Lawyers for the department have also taken an expansive view that federal judges have no authority to tell the executive branch how to handle immigration issues or matters of foreign policy, including national security.
As the hearing Wednesday came to an end, Boasberg said that lawyers for the Venezuelan men had made a decent case that the Trump administration had at least some
responsibility for how they had ended up in Salvadoran custody.
He pointed to a series of public statements by officials in both the U.S. and Salvadoran governments that suggested there was an agreement in place between the two countries.
In response, Kambli, the Justice Department lawyer, said that he was “not going to parse out every public statement” that had been made on the matter by U.S. officials.
Boasberg, highlighting the way that Trump officials have often said one thing in media outlets and another in court, asked Kambli almost derisively: “Is that another way of saying these public statements just aren’t true?”
In the end, Boasberg put off ruling on the request by the ACLU to issue an order that the Venezuelan men should be returned from El Salvador.
Instead, the judge said that he intended to order the government to disclose more information about its arrangements with El Salvador by having it answer written questions and hand over a series of documents.

What matters in U.S. and global markets today
By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Financial Industry and Financial Markets
The spotlight hit Britain on Thursday as U.S. President Donald Trump’s ‘major trade deal’ announcement looks set to provide a major relief for UK exporters, just as the Bank of England is set to cut interest rates.
I’ll get into all the market news below, and, for today’s deep dive, I’ll explain why Europe may be better prepared to absorb a deluge of global investment flows than many assume.
Today’s Market Minute
* The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday but said the risks of higher inflation and unemployment had risen, further clouding the U.S. economic outlook.
* Trump is expected to announce a trade deal between the United States and Britain on Thursday, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.
* Ukraine is starting to consider a shift away from the U.S. dollar, possibly linking its currency more closely to the euro amid the splintering of global trade and its growing ties to Europe, Central Bank Governor Andriy Pyshnyi told Reuters.
* Sentiment in the oil market has soured in recent weeks, but looking at current conditions on the ground - and refiners’ profit margins - one would be forgiven for thinking that the oil market is doing extremely well. What gives? Reuters’ columnist Ron Bousso explores this discrepancy.
* Concern is mounting over just how big a hit the Chinese economy is going to take from the trade war with the United States, but so far the commodity most at risk - iron ore - is seemingly unaffected. Reuters’ columnist Clyde Russell explains why in his latest piece.
UK eyes ‘major trade deal’
A British official said the U.S. and UK were working to agree on lower tariffs for steel and autos, two sectors that have been hit by 25% U.S. levies. In return, Britain is likely to agree to lower its own tariffs on U.S. cars and cut a digital sales tax that affects U.S. tech groups.
The status of a 10% “baseline” tariff imposed by Trump on most countries including Britain remained unclear.
Awaiting a widely-expected quarter point UK rate cut later today, sterling appeared to shrug off the anticipated
trade announcement. But the FTSE 250 index of domestically facing mid-cap stocks rose almost 1% on the news to its highest point since late February.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve chose not to change interest rates on Wednesday, a decision that was widely expected. The U.S. central bank flagged the high level of uncertainty ahead, arguing that it made it challenging to make any confident changes to policy or guidance.
Embattled Fed Chair Jerome Powell high-
lighted the risk that trade upheaval could lift both unemployment and inflation, creating tensions in the Fed’s dual mandate on jobs and price stability.
“I don’t think we can say which way this will shake out,” Powell said.
But Wall Street stocks ended higher nonetheless, emboldened by hopes that the week ahead will see at least some easing of planned U.S. tariffs amid expected deals with Britain and others as well as weekend talks in Switzerland with China.
U.S. stock futures extended those gains overnight along with a broad advance in European and Asian bourses.

José Alfredo Vega’s parents said they were able to identify his body only because of a childhood scar. Otherwise, the corpse was swollen beyond recognition.
“He was OK when he left,” said his father, Miguel Ángel Vega, recalling the night nearly three years ago when police officers barged into the family’s home and took away his son. “He was healthy.”
Now, at 29, José Alfredo was dead in a morgue.
President Donald Trump’s decision to send to El Salvador hundreds of people he says are gang members has ignited outrage and approval in the United States. But most Salvadorans have barely registered their arrival and absorption into the country’s opaque penal system.
Here in El Salvador, where tens of thousands of men have been swept up in mass arrests in recent years, the disappearance of men into prisons not to be heard from again is disturbingly familiar.
Since 2022, when President Nayib Bukele’s government imposed a state of emergency to quell rampant gang violence, around 80,000 people have been incarcerated, more than tripling El Salvador’s inmate population. Thousands of innocent people have been locked up with no legal recourse and no communication with their families, according to their relatives, former prisoners and rights groups.
Hundreds of deaths have been documented inside El Salvador’s prisons, with families also reporting torture and maiming. Still, Bukele and his security strategy remain incredibly popular. Polls consistently show that more than 80% of Salvadorans approve of the young leader, saying under his administration they regained a precious luxury: the ability to safely walk down their streets.
“Bukele is doing everything right, we are all delighted,” said Daniel Francisco de León, a San Salvador resident. “It’s a whole different mood here. They used to just rob, rob, rob.”
Families of the imprisoned say that only they know what lies behind Bukele’s security strategy and its seeming success.
“I would not tell a single country to do what they did here,” said Vega, who identified his son’s body last month.
When Vega responded to the call from the morgue — it was the first he’d heard of his son since his arrest in May 2022 — the bodies of four other prisoners lay nearby. His son, he was told, had died of sepsis.
The Salvadoran human rights group Cristosal has documented 378 prison deaths since 2022, though Cristosal’s director, Noah Bullock, says the true number is likely much higher. The deaths, Bullock said, are the result of an “intentional denial of access to basic necessities like food, water, health care, hygiene,” in some cases combined with physical abuse.
Andrés Guzmán Caballero, the government’s human rights commissioner, rejected claims that prisoners were dying from intentional neglect or abuse, or at a higher rate than the civilian population, including from the effects of malnutrition.
“That’s completely false,” he said in an interview.
Guzmán Caballero could not provide an exact number of prisoner deaths but said that there is “very low” mortality in the country’s two dozen penitentiaries.
American lawyers for the migrants sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration and several members of the U.S. Congress have pressed officials for information on the men. The lawyers and family members say they have not heard from them since they were expelled in mid-March.
The American and Salvadoran governments have refused to offer updates on their health or the conditions under which they are being held, other than to report that the most high profile of the men, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is in good health.
In the country’s capital, San Salvador, street lamps adorned with the Salvadoran flag light up as the sun sets. People can now stay outdoors at night.
“I like to say that we actually liberated millions,” Bukele told Trump last month.
Many Salvadorans say they agree. They can now go out when they please, play soccer, walk dogs. They are no longer shaken down by teenage gang members, asked to turn over food or property, or their daughters. Emergency rooms that once overflowed with gang victims are calm.
“You were like a little stray animal: there one day and gone the next,” said Teresa Lemus, a street vendor. “Now we’re 100% safe. I can carry my cash in my bag.”
Lemus’ brother was among those imprisoned for more than a year amid the crackdown despite his disability, a spinal condition that left him reliant on leg braces.
“Sooner or later, he’ll be proved innocent,” she recalled telling people.
She was right. But the letter exonerating her brother came too late, after he died this year in a prison called El Penalito, at 48. When she saw him in the morgue, he was emaciated. The explanation for his death, she said, was vague — depression, anemia.
Still, Lemus does not blame Bukele.
“I’m very clear that the president hasn’t done me wrong in any way,” she said. “Just as he has hurt us in some ways, he has helped us in others.”
Her brother, she is sure, would have said the same.
While polls show Bukele remains popular, some say the high numbers are a sign that people do not feel they can voice what
Miguel Ángel Vega and his wife, Marta González, with photographs of their sons: José Alfredo Vega, left, who died in prison recently, and Vidal Adalberto Vega González, who is still in prison, in Salinas de Sisiguayo, El Salvador, April 24, 2025. (Daniele Volpe/The New York Times)
is in fact growing public concern over the state of emergency — known here as “El Regimen.”
“You have a population that says, ‘Sure, we support the president, but I would be afraid to tell you if I didn’t,’ ” Bullock said.
Those who have spoken out include the parents of the disappeared, who march through the capital carrying posters with their children’s photos. Among them are Vega and his wife, Marta González, who just buried their youngest son. They have another son still in prison.
Nearly two decades ago, as the threat of gangs grew, they moved to a remote coastal village to keep their sons safe, Vega said. He worked at a shrimp cooperative, fished and did odd jobs. His sons eventually joined him.
On weekends, he said, they played soccer with a rural police force sent by the government to keep the gangs away.
Then a new president took power. And new police officers. José Alberto was arrested, and the following morning as he was hauling in shrimp, his brother, Vidal Adalberto, was also taken into custody.
Since the young men’s arrests, their family has sold everything to afford the packages of food and supplies that are the only things people are permitted to deliver to prisoners.
Of those imprisoned under the state of emergency, only 8,000 people have been released, according to the government.
One former prisoner, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared rearrest, said he would never forget his year in two prisons, from 2022-23.
“It’s a death realm,” he said. “The realm of the devil.”
His first stop was Izalco, a maximum-security prison on the outskirts of the capital.
On arrival, the men were stripped to their underwear and forced to walk between rows of guards who hit them with clubs, he said. They were crammed three to a bunk, forced to split meager rations like watery beans or instant pasta. The man said he lost 30 pounds in a month.
Ultimately, he said, he was placed with a group of “civilians without tattoos,” people considered “collaborators, in theory.”
Then he was sent to a less restrictive prison facility north of San Salvador, known as Mariona. There, detainees could leave their cells, kick a ball and play dominoes.
But beyond routine checks, including weigh-ins, there was no medical care, the man said. Many prisoners suffered from “a kind of diarrhea I didn’t know was possible,” he said.
Prisoners’ families sent packages, but guards removed things like oatmeal, cornflakes and cookies, the former inmate said, setting aside calorie-rich food for starving inmates.
Guzmán, the human rights commissioner, denied this.
“Everyone receives food and everyone is fine,” he said. “When it comes to malnutrition, there is no problem. It’s not a five-star hotel but everybody eats two, three times a day and they eat well.”

There are two reasons “Liberation Day,” President Donald Trump’s declaration of a trade war, looms large among the forays and controversies of his first
The first is that it represents the consummation — or an attempt at consummation, at least — of the entire 21stcentury populist project. Since its emergence in the mid2010s, right-wing populism in both America and Europe has often amounted to rhetoric and gesture rather than to sweeping policymaking, or at least to cultural rather than economic conflict. But with the tariffs, Trump made a real attempt at bringing about the full populist revolution originally promised by his 2016 campaign — not just a tweak or correction of globalization but a repudiation of the entire neoliberal project, and an attempt to institute a radically different vision of political economy and world order.

When I joined protests against the looming Iraq invasion in 2002, my American friends thought I was being exceptionally brave because I was only here on a student visa. I laughed. I also laughed when my fellow protesters angrily chanted, “This is what a police state
looks like!” at the police cars idling across the street while officers ambled around.
You have no idea what an actual police state looks like, I told my friends. In my home country, Turkey, thousands were disappeared in the two decades following the 1980 military coup.
This word does not fit the English language. Disappeared? As a transitive verb? It’s part of a language of terror familiar to many around the world. “Desaparecidos,” in Spanish. In Turkey, the distraught relatives of “kaybedilenler” hold vigils on Saturdays. In Argentina, the Madres de Plaza de Mayo on Thursdays. In Sri Lanka. Bangladesh. Chile. Belarus. Egypt. Myanmar. El Salvador. Long list.
The second reason for its importance is that it seems likely to fail, and fail badly, with the scale of the debacle limited only by Trump’s willingness to reverse and retreat. And such a failure would do far more to undermine the Trumpian project than backlash against, say, DOGE cuts or deportations.
Trump has never presided over an economic downturn, other than the brief COVID recession. He was elected again on a promise to restore the good times that preceded the pandemic; his appeal to many swing voters depends on material promises, not just mystique. So no form of public protest or moral outrage threatens to unravel his power as rapidly as a recession would — and Liberation Day has made such an unraveling more likely.
uncertainty, the endless agony. The terror that descends like a suffocating layer of tar on everyone.
But America was different. The odds were hugely in one’s favor against government retribution for speech or protest. The First Amendment wasn’t just for show. Americans meant it. I kept protesting. We lost. The war happened. I graduated.
Now, little more than two decades later, Americans are beginning to understand that disappeared can refer to an act of force. Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts graduate student from Turkey here on a visa, believed in the American ideal of free speech, signing an opinion article in a student newspaper in support of a resolution passed by her university’s student government.
Then, about a year later there’s a video. She is walking down the street, chatting on her phone with her mom on her way to break her Ramadan fast. Twelve hours of hunger and thirst. Sixty-four days of the new administration.

When I told my friends back in Turkey about the things Americans did and said, they guffawed, assuming I was making the whole thing up. Come on, tell us what’s actually happening. The police just sitting back and allowing people to organize protests and publish fiery op-eds? To people in Turkey, it was inconceivable. When I stuck to my story, they accused me, only half in jest, of being a paid propagandist for the CIA.
But I had been converted. A true believer. I had become free speech-pilled, as the kids say, after 9/11 as I watched in astonishment how many spoke out, not just in dissent but sometimes in shocking, incendiary sentiments. It didn’t always make them popular, but they didn’t face government retribution at the magnitude I was bracing for.
I knew the government violated some civil rights, of course, especially when it came to Arab Americans and occasionally protesters. A 2002 report said hundreds were targeted on the pretext of visa violations. As a Middle Easterner, I expected governments to break rules and violate rights, but this wasn’t at the scale or of the nature that would effectively terrorize dissenters into silence. That’s the logic behind those that do the disappearing: the impunity, the
There on the street, a group of people suddenly surround her. No uniforms. Hoodies and masks. One of them snatches her phone. She screams. She says she wants to call the police. She still believes they couldn’t be the police. Not in the United States. They grab her. We’d learn that for a long time, she thought they were kidnappers about to kill her. Her lawyer and her family couldn’t find her till much later.
The video ends right as they stuff her into an unmarked black SUV, and disappear her.

Alcaldesa de Morovis rinde homenaje a madres moroveñas con música típica
MOROVIS – Como preámbulo a la celebración del Día de las Madres, la alcaldesa de Morovis, Carmen Maldonado González, rindió un emotivo homenaje a varias madres moroveñas a principios de esta semana, entre ellas Serafina Negrón Otero e Irma Colón Rivera, quienes han sido reconocidas por su ejemplo de vida, entrega familiar y por representar los valores de la mujer moroveña.
La actividad incluyó una serenata musical ofrecida por los niños y jóvenes del Taller Folclórico Moroveño, bajo la dirección del maestro José “Joe” Torres, llevando música típica puertorriqueña a los hogares de estas madres ejemplares.
Este taller es parte de los programas culturales adscritos a la Oficina Municipal de Arte, Cultura y Turismo, y se desarrolla gracias a una alianza entre la Administración Municipal y el Centro Cultural Moroveño.
“Cada madre moroveña es un pilar fundamental en la formación de nues-
tras familias. Reconocerlas con música, con lo que somos como pueblo, es un acto de amor y gratitud. Serafina e Irma son reflejo de muchas otras mujeres que construyen con sabiduría y fortaleza el futuro de Morovis”, expresó la alcaldesa Maldonado González.
“Este homenaje simboliza el respeto, la admiración y el agradecimiento del pueblo moroveño hacia todas las madres, quienes con su amor, entrega y sacrificio contribuyen cada día al bienestar y desarrollo de nuestras comunidades”, añadió la ejecutiva municipal, quien también es madre de dos jóvenes y orgullosa abuela.

As 75-mph winds whipped black smoke across the sky, I stood in my kitchen, worrying about what it would take to evacuate. My husband had packed up the medications, arm and knee braces and heating pads I needed to manage my debilitating, chronic pain.
But now what?
It was Jan. 8 in Los Angeles. There were 100,000 people under evacuation orders, and every hotel and Airbnb was booked. I had nowhere to go, no refills remaining on one of my medications and no idea how bad my pain would become if I missed a scheduled medical procedure.
Fires, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters are hitting harder than ever. And when they do, people with disabilities often feel the impact “first and worst,” said June Isaacson Kailes, a disability policy consultant in Los Angeles. An estimated 1.3 billion people, or 16% of the world’s population, has experienced significant disability.
Despite facing a higher risk of injury or death than those without disabilities, however, 84% of people with disabilities worldwide report feeling unprepared.

And when they do, people with disabilities often feel the impact “first and worst,” said June Isaacson Kailes, a disability policy consultant in Los Angeles. (Michael Swensen/The New York Times)
“Your survival depends on having a plan and knowing how to carry out that plan,” said Mike Diehl, an amputee and former firefighter in Middletown, Ohio.
Here is how to make one.
Ask for help ahead of time.
Start by knocking on your neighbor’s door and talking about what you can do together in an emergency, suggested Germán Parodi, an executive director of the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, a nonprofit organization. In many cases, it is neighbors, not emergency workers, who carry out rescues, explained Parodi, who is quadriplegic and worked in Puerto Rico to assist people with disabilities who were affected by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
Alison Freeman, a clinical psychologist who is deaf, learned after the LA wildfires that her apartment building issued announcements about emergencies only via loudspeaker and that building staff members would not be permitted to leave the first floor and alert her in person during an evacuation. After that, she said, “I took it upon myself to connect with other residents to see who’d be willing to check in on me.”
Be proactive with your doctors, experts said. Ask for extra medication refills so that you have an emergency supply on hand, and discuss how to manage possible treatment disruptions.
If you depend on electricity — whether for a powered scooter, oxygen or refrigerated medications — contact your power company before disaster strikes. They may be able to put you on a priority restoration list.
Plan where you’ll go.
Tyler Lima-Roope, who is 27 and lives in LA, relies on
his power wheelchair and other medical devices to live and function. As wildfires threatened nearby neighborhoods earlier this year, he worried about finding a place that could support his extensive needs, including specialized equipment to help him move from his bed to a wheelchair or shower chair.
“Having to go somewhere at the drop of a dime is really hard for someone in my situation,” Lima-Roope said.
Experts suggested creating a list of possible places to evacuate that you know can accommodate your needs, and keeping the necessary contact information on hand.
If you need accessible transportation, arrange this ahead of time with someone you know or with a disability resource agency in your area. This is essential, experts said, because emergency rescue teams are stretched thin during disasters.
And know when you’ll leave.
Search online for your city or county emergency alert system, and sign up for it. Opt in to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts, and consider downloading apps from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross, which work with screen readers and flash notifications for those with vision or hearing impairments. Weather radios from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can also send alerts using tone, lights, vibrations or text displays.
If your disability affects how quickly or safely you can evacuate, consider leaving before an order is issued.
Because Diehl knows that gathering and loading his supplies into the car could take precious time in an emergency, he keeps them ready to go.
“I’m prepared to get myself out of a bad situation before it becomes so dire that I need a rescue,” Diehl said.
Evacuating early may also be a good idea if you depend on medical devices that require electricity and power outages seem likely, said Elizabeth Bubel, a program manager at the American Red Cross. Do not wait until disaster is at your door to test your exit route. For tornado preparations, for example, practice how quickly you can reach your home’s lowest, innermost room. If you have mobility limitations and work or live in a multistory building, rehearse using evacuation chairs with those who would help you in an emergency.
Prepare a ‘go bag.’
Experts recommended using disability-specific checklists to build emergency kits for your home, work and car.
If some of your daily essentials cannot be stowed in a bag ahead of time, pack what you can and make a list of what you’ll need to grab in the moment, said Kailes, the disability policy consultant. And set yourself a semiannual reminder to make sure your backup medications are not expired.
Experts also suggested creating a photo album or log on your smartphone listing any prescriptions or medical equipment, in case they have to be left behind when you evacuate and later replaced.
After evacuating, I was lucky to return to a home that was still standing. I began unpacking the bag I had scrambled to fill, and then stopped. I left a few days’ worth of clothes, medications and instant cold packs inside, for the next time I might need them.
